Indirect BullyingIntroductionIndirect bullying is one type of bullying. It is not like physical bullying or cyber bullying. Listen to our project and you will know how other children feel and know that we can help.DefinitionIndirect bullying is when someone spreads a rumor about another persons life. You might not think it is bad but if someone were to embarrass you it will hurt your feelings and you might get depressed. Indirect bullying is also excluding someone from a group. If someone were to get excluded they would feel as if they had no friends.CausesDo you know why people indirect bully? Well boys and girls usually bully to get their anger out on someone else or that they are being bullied by other people like friends or parents. If the bully is getting bullied by someone else they bully because they want people to know how they feel.EffectsEven though indirect bullying is not physical it is mental. When someone does indirect bullying it effects the victim mentally and the victim may get anxiety, low self esteem and depression. They get low self esteem because they are embarrassed by everyone knowing their secret and thinking that they are not good enough, because they get left out. Children also get anxiety because they are worried the teasing is going to get worse. Lastly children get depressed because they are unhappy and start feeling sad that everyone knows something that is not true about them.How To Prevent Indirect Bullying?We can all stand up to bullies if we use our words. They may not know it is really hurting you.You can go up to the bully and tell them your feelings. If that does not work you go see a trusted adult and they will help you. Some victims are to shy to speak up by them self's so ask a friend or two to speak to the bully or go up with your friend. If you go up to a bully and say what you need to say that does not make you the bully. If a victim spreads a rumor just to make people stop bullying them that is what you should not do because that just makes you a bully. Sometimes we need to do what is best and hopefully it will work.1."When people hurt you over and over, think of them like sandpaper. They may scratch and hurt you a bit, but in the end, you end up polished and they end up useless.” -Chris Colfer
